ECON WALL is a patented Insulated Concrete Thermal Mass Wall System which combines the thermal mass properties of reinforced concrete with the energy saving benefits of rigid insulation to provide ultra-high levels of energy efficiency, far beyond what R-Value alone can achieve
Thermal Mass: ECON WALL is an insulated concrete thermal mass wall system which places the insulation on the outside of the concrete walls. In doing so, the insides of the building are free of thermal insulation. This enables the concrete to absorb, store, and later release thermal energy to achieve significant energy savings.The thermal mass also helps to stabilize the internal temperature and improves occupant comfort levels.
Continuous Exterior Insulation: ECON WALL has a continuous layer of exterior rigid insulation which serves several important functions in a high-performing wall system with the following benefits:
- Increased thermal performance: By blocking thermal bridging, a continuous insulation system increases the overall thermal performance of a wall assembly and a building.
- Reduced operating costs: Continuous insulation keeps energy and heat loss to a minimum, increasing the building’s energy efficiency and leading to lower monthly operating costs.
- Reduced air infiltration and exfiltration: Continuous insulation restricts air movement through the wall, helping to further reduce building heat loss.
- Reduced risk of water condensation and moisture intrusion: Continuous insulation is a very moisture-resistant system, guarding the thermal and structural performance of the building.
- Dimensional Stability: Rigid insulation has excellent dimensional stability and does not sag over time.
Air Tightness: ECON WALL has a solid reinforced concrete core combined with continuous external insulation which together provides superior air tightness than any other building system.
- ECON WALL has continuous exterior insulation which prevents gaps and restricts the air leakage through the building envelope and provides long term reliable insulation performance for the life of the building.
- ECON WALL also has a solid reinforced concrete core which acts as a primary air barrier and results in a extremely air tight building.
A wood frame house solely relies on a thin sheet of plastic as an air barrier which is joined together with tape which is a very tedious and time consuming process requiring a very high level of skill and diligence.This thin plastic barrier can be easily punctured and the quality and reliability of air tightness is highly dependent on the method of installation.
